"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never "

Hey Mama! Congratulations on your pregnancy!
A whole new world of love & wonder lies ahead of you! But it can all feel a little overwhelming too, right? And alongside all the excitement & anticipation that comes with expecting a baby, it is completely natural to feel some uncertainty & fear.
​
While you might be busy choosing names, decorating the nursery & picking out clothes & prams, perhaps you are also feeling the call to focus inward & to prepare internally for what is about to come.
​​
Maybe you have started to think about how you would like your baby's birth to be....
​​​​​​​​
Maybe you are hoping for a natural birth, but are questioning whether that will be possible for you, especially if this is your first baby or you have had a previous birth that didn't go to plan...​
​
Maybe you have a vision for your dream birth but doubt how realistic that is when you hear the birth stories of your friends, filled with complications & interventions...
​
Maybe you are feeling nervous about your ability to handle the strong sensations of labour....
Or fearful about the lack of control you might experience; of not knowing how your birth will go or what to expect...
​
If any of these things ring true, I am here to support you.​​

Hello, My name is Zara.
I am a mother, nature lover & founder of Connected Mother & Baby. I live in Farnham & offer hypnobirthing and holistic antenatal education, pregnancy & post-partum support in the Surrey/ North-East Hampshire area. My purpose is to gently guide you back to yourself as you journey to becoming a mother.
I am passionate about supporting you to be more present in your body through pregnancy, birth & post-partum, so that you can connect with your intuition & inner knowing & can navigate the transition to motherhood with greater trust & confidence.
Through my courses & classes I will help you to find stillness so that you can tap into your inner wisdom & re-establish your connection to your true nature, giving you roots to become the mother you were born to be, held by a beautiful & nurturing community.
'Experience of the phenomenal capacity of our birthing body can give us an enduring sense of our own power as women'
-Sarah J Buckley
Connected mother & baby was born from the knowing that the transition to motherhood is a truly transformational rite of passage. It can be a time of great power & expansion and a time of great vulnerability.
How we are held & supported during this metamorphosis has a profound effect on our emotional well-being and confidence as we navigate the physical, emotional & psychological shifts that accompany having a new baby.
​
Motherhood changes us at a cellular level.
In the times of our ancestors, new mothers were guided through this sacred transition from maiden to mother by experienced elders. The village nurtured the mother throughout her pregnancy, during birth and into motherhood. But modern motherhood is quite different.
​
As a society, we have lost touch with some of our most essential needs; our needs for community, connection, nature & stillness. The noise of the external world can be overwhelming. It can make you question yourself & doubt your instinct & intuition.
​
My purpose is to create a space that allows you to get quiet enough to listen to your inner wisdom, to feel confident enough to trust in your inner knowing & to feel seen, heard & supported throughout your pregnancy, birth & post-partum.
​
I am here to remind you that you are incredibly powerful; your body is powerful, your mind is powerful; you hold so much wisdom within yourself.
